I agree broadly, and I think we both agree with the author's main point... life goes on.
But, I think we need to be careful with our expectations. Currently, the biggest factor determining what content gets created is the preferences or MO of a handful of big guys.
Netflix is like the old world. Executives. Deals. Do Netflix insiders still like sexposition or do they think it's corny now? It's a lot like selling a show to a cable channel. On Youtube, a minute of news equals a minute of fart jokes and subscribers are important. That's their ethic.
The future isn't really about what "content" will do.. it's about what youtube or amazon will do. These companies are not neutral conduits of consumer preferences, whether or not they make decisions algorithmically.
